Boy, what a week. A friend passed. I attended the memorial service this weekend. I have not dealt with death in a really long time. Especially not someone who passed before their time. There were expected, grandparents. My dad when I was 8 but I did not know him. He was in and out of rehab (slight drinking problem).

What is there to say when this happens? Really I suppose there are many websites and books etc. But in the end, it just sucks. The poor family appeared to be in disbelief but appeared to be holding it together. There I was crying out a river. I tell myself, everyone has there own way of dealing. But still, good golly hold it together for them!! Oh well, what can I say but what a crappy week.

Day 2 and/or Wednesday

Started my day like any other hump day or any day really. Lets be honest, there is pattern to my life. I do not deviate from it much unless on vacation and that is only 3 weeks a year. Boring, how did this happen? Oh well it happened, I am getting old and consequently I am getting boring. Stop, sorry to digress, this morning. This morning I came downstairs with my dog to find the yummy turkey meatloaf I slaved over (maybe not slaved) last night was left out by my husband!!! I was so pissed and still am. I am officially on strike, no cooking for a very LONG time. Not the best start to hump day. I treated myself to some retail therapy on my lunch hour.

Tuesday night - starting my blog

OMG - I am ready to kill my dog. Love him but boy he can wear your last nerve. Everyone tells me oh he is a puppy give it time....okay when is this going to end?? Forget it I will have that glass of wine after all. Turkey meatloaf for dinner. Great recipe from a Real Simple mag. Absolutely love this recipe, crazy since I used to beg my mom not to make her meatloaf which seemed like every week. Yes there was a rotation of 5 different meals. She made it with ground chuck and ketchup so I think anything is better. This recipe is minus both.

Checking mail and my mailman really needs to get glasses or check his prescription. Apparently "3" and "5" look the same. Got all of my neighbor's mail yesterday and got more today. At least my mail was mixed in today and my opentable.com gift card was delivered to the right address.
